Mr Roberto, including distressed companies like SMN? Where is your money Pal? Show us the capital injection @$0.90 cents and prove 100% that you are the guy with capital experience in supporting an Aviation business that has the potential to see a market cap well above $1 Billion dollars. Talk about suicide by 1000 cuts! Remember this very important fact, a huge majority of current share holders average share price is north above $1. Most of the former directors have already sold millions of their shares, including Drake who in my opinion has a average price under $0.10 cents. So from my perspective unlike most of the uniformed, I want you to put in your share @$0.90 cents. The old adage 'Put in or Shut up"
Are you for us or against us......It's your call!

Mr Loechteken, aircraft leasing and commercial/corporate finance and operational restructurings of companies leading to a subsequent sale or IPO. Is this your idea of corporate restructuring to bleed out a company and then do a "MASSIVE" equity raise to raise your % share holding at the lowest price possible and then from your own C.V. sell the distress company at peanuts? Who benefits from your C.V from this "Experience" to sell out at peanuts? I can think of only ONE share holder who sees this as greatest event since slice bread! You got it buddy!
Show us you mean business, show us your Capital injection @$0.90 cents!
The only point here is your share of capital injection @$0.90 cents. Don't make dirty laundry public and think you are going to bluff share holders who have a bloody higher share price average above $1, and think your idea (hypothetically spearking) of Capital Restructure at selling 50 Million shares @0.20 cents in the future is going to suffice most of Australian investors to keep your average price down near $0.10 cents?
Here is a tip. Go and watch a movie called "Collateral" 2004 with Jamie Fox. We the shareholders are like "Vincent the Taxi Driver", dreaming about the future, you guys are like Felix telling us stories about "Pedro" Quite funny hey.
